How did you decide on which idea(s) to share with your team? ● Did your original design idea(s) change after listening to your teammates' ideas? If so, in what ways did they change? ● Were there any ideas that you or your team initially deemed "bad" ideas that you ended up using? Or were there any "good" ideas that you got rid of? Explain why. ● Describe the process your team went through to narrow down ideas and arrive at a final project design. What factors did your team

This fact has been demonstrated ina wide variety of disciplines, across a large range of ages, and over a long period of time. Indeed,successful examples of ‘computerized’ games used in university settings may be identified as farback as the 1960’s when computers were still in their infant stages. For example, Raia1 describesthe effective utilization of a computerized game to teach business management skills at theUniversity of Maryland in 1966.A consistent plea from industries over decades has been the need for universities to train studentsto handle the complexities

acknowledge a limitation of our analysis. We recognize that such groupgrade-setting meetings are very likely not the norm for courses in the calculus sequence,in other courses that serve as pre-requisites for engineering, or in engineering courses. Inthis sense, we would not expect our findings to generalize to the specific ways in whichstudents are “weeded out” at other institutions. At the same time, we believe that ourstrategy of analyzing practical dilemmas of grading and sorting, whether this work iscarried out individually or in groups, is a potentially productive one in understandingideological aspects of success and failure.Bibliography1.

Iapproach things.” Rowena saw the actions of engineers as expanding beyond “math andproblems you solve,” acknowledging that the course exposed her to “more opportunities than Ithought in engineering.” However, Marley’s description of engineering was simple: “Build it in away that won’t negatively impact that community.” This is not an indictment against engineers,but a simple expectation of what engineers do, or what they ought to do. Normative ideals of engineers and engineering include the “ought-to”s of the practice. Intheir descriptions of what engineers are, and their previous encounters with engineers andengineering, students had a specific normative vision as to what engineers ought to be and do.Milburn said, “They [Engineers] have a
